ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Democratic gubernatorial nominee is pressing Governor Greg Abbott to comply with a public records request for his correspondence with Elon Musk via a lawsuit, while Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor Vikki Goodwin has filed a police report against incumbent Dan Patrick for misrepresenting her via AI deepfaked ads. Republican Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong has also been busted using fake AI video. AAPI voters in Texas still appear as not being fully embraced by either major party. Cooper's BBQ in New Braunfels finds itself in a political snafu over a Ken Paxton event, and it's Talarico V Trump in Lubbock tonight.
